Maumee River:

 The water level has dropped since last week’s rains and the fish have spread out along the river’s historical spawning grounds. In recent days, anglers have done well in the Fort Meigs and Orleans Park areas, and at the Jerome Road rapids. The strong winds complicate matters, but the warmer temperatures have many anglers staying in the river for longer stretches. The pros at Netcraft report that the afternoon and evening bite have been the best in recent days, with anglers using No. 2 floating jig heads, three- or four-inch swirl tail grubs, and ½- to one-ounce weights. The brighter colors have been productive, with orange and pink leading the pack. The water temperature pushed to about 45 degrees on Thursday, which should indicate a very active weekend for fishermen.

El Dorado:

 Walleye fair casting floating jerk baits, suspending crankbaits or working jig-n-minnow combos along the dam, rocky points and other spawning areas after dark. White bass slow to fair in shallow water during warmer days casting jig or plastics. Crappie fair to good using jigs or minnows in brush or near timbered creek channels 9-11 feet deep. Catfish fair along windy shorelines using shad sides.

Norfork Lake

Walleye on Norfork Lake have been hitting jerkbaits and live minnows. If you troll a flicker shad in the Udall area and north, you should have good results. Quite a few crappie are being caught from Liner Creek north by people fishing for white bass.
White bass have started to arrive in the river system on both lakes. As usual, the small males are the first to arrive, and as the water temperature continues to rise the females will show. It may take several weeks before white bass fishing is really good as the water is still in the low 50s. Live minnows, sliders, rooster tails and swimming minnows all work on white bass.

El Vado Dam

The streamflows on the Chama River below Abiquiu Dam and below El Vado Dam are still low. The fishing has been fair at both locations. Sometime later this spring the streamflow beneath these Dams will be increased significantly. When this happens, the fishing below Abiquiu Dam will essentially be shut down because heavy flows in this location turn the water too murky to fish. The fishing below El Vado Dam is also more difficult, but holds up well. You can check the streamflow at both locations daily on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website.

Chama River

The fishing in the Chama River below Abiquiu Dam is fair. The Department stocked 562 rainbow trout here March 7 and in the past I have caught some big brown trout in March below Abiquiu. Right now, the streamflow below Abiquiu Dam is low, but it won’t be long before the streamflow will be raised to much higher levels for the upcoming irrigation season.

 

Not too many people are fishing Abiquiu Lake right now and the fishing is reported as slow. The walleye should start biting here any day now. Walleye spawn in the spring so they should move into shallow water. Trout should be biting as well. Abiquiu has some big trout, both rainbows and browns. Bank fishing can be a challenge at Abiquiu because this lake is full of rocks and drowned juniper trees. Try fishing worms or minnows beneath a bobber. Trolling crank baits from a boat could catch you a big fish-walleye or trout.

MELVERN:

 44 degrees, visibility around 7 feet, 1.4 feet low. Outlook: Melvern Lake Marina reports: crappie – fair around the docks around the docks and in the heated dock area using purple jigs with numbers above 10" increasing, particularly in early morning and mid-afternoon on the south docks. There is also some success on the lake near the northwest end of the lake. Smallmouth - poor, but some activity along the shoreline and rip rap face of the dam using spoons and shallow crankbaits; white bass - fair lake wide on jigs and minnows. All other species – poor or no reports.

Ontario waters

 Ontario waters, crappies in  holes of 28-32' off of points. Mortality rate is high for released crappies in 25' or deeper, catch fish and move on.  Snowmobile trails on and around the lake are marked and groomed.  A complete list of lodging, ice fishing packages and sleeper houses are available through March

TABLE ROCK:

 45 degrees, clear, about 6.8 feet low. Outlook: Focused Fishing Guide Service reports: Bass bite is relatively the same. Most largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are being caught on crank baits, jerk baits, jigs. More are being caught on football style jigs in 20-35 feet of water along channel-swing banks. Crappie – fair in King’s River and Long Creek, but have really slowed on the James. Live minnows below floats around standing cedar trees and brush piles in 10-15 feet have been productive. Walleye – slow, but more are being caught up the King’s, mostly males.
